Will You Add? - Consider These Four Points Before You Make An Offer To Buy An Investment Property
Many people who wish to start their own business need an injection of financial capital at the beginning of a business; the main source of funding for entrepreneurs is business loans.Let's take a look at what you should expect if you plan to apply for one.First of all, you should know that most lenders have their doubts when it comes to lending money to a first-time business owner. You're considered a high business risk at this point, and you should go in to your loan negotiations armed with a few advantages. Of course, the ideal option is to run your business for a few yea
Almost as bad as just going to one bank and putting all your eggs in that basket is shopping around and getting a commitment at terms you like that make the deal profitable and meet your goals and then CONTINUING TO SHOP! If you get what you wanted-don’t be greedy. Wall Street has a saying, “Bulls and bears make money, Pigs get slaughtered”.
HELPFUL TIP
Everyone is connected digitally. Your resume may say a lot about you, but does your web page say more to an employer than you want them to know? Your resume may become a waste of paper if an employer performs a simple Google search and learns that you drink too much, are promiscuous, steal or even worse.Don't make the mistake of thinking a prospective employer isn't going to check up on you. They will. They do.If you have been sending out a lot of resumes, but not receiving any phone calls for interviews, you should probably start asking yourself some questions. You goal is d
Incredibly, many people make investment decisions because someone told them about a great idea or opportunity. They never put pen to paper to even figure out if a profit is possible! Others buy property or investments and have no clear cut return they are shooting for or a game plan on how to get it.
What is your goal for this purchase?
What return are you looking for on a year basis?
How many years are you planning ot hold the property?
Are you trying to buy a fixer-upper?
Are you hoping to renovate it and fully rent it out and sell it?
When are you going to try to sell the property?
The above are just starting points for you to start to inquire within yourself before you buy a piece of property. The point is to never buy a piece of real estate investment property unless you know why you are buying the property, your expected return on your investment and your exit strategy for getting out of the property with a profit.
HELPFUL TIP: Before you go into contract, run your deal by a commercial mortgage professional, Get expert advice BEFORE you commit! They can alert you to the pitfalls and even bring creative financing strategies to the deal to maximize your return.
Point #2: Thinking only about the Interest Rate that you have been offered
The lowest interest rate is NOT necessarily the best deal for commercial property. Amortization is just as important. Amortization is the length of time the payment will be factored over, the longer the amortization, the lower the payment. Depending on your goal, the lower payment yields you better cash flow and more profit per year-better ROI (return on investment).
For example, a $500,000 mortgage with a 10-year balloon and a 15-year amortization at 5.5% interest rate yields a payment of $4,085/month. The same mortgage with a 25-year amortization but a rate of 6% yields a payment of $3,221/month. Same loan amount, ? a percent higher rate but because of the longer amortization your monthly payment is over $800 less per month. If the cash flow on the property was going to net you $1000 a month at the 5.5% rate this extra $800 a month or $9,600 per year, now that's a better return on your investment due to the longer amortization. Over 80%!
Point #3: Knowing when to shop, and knowing when to stop shopping.
Remember, on commercial loans even if you are a great borrower-you may still get turned down by your local bank. Why? The property may not be good. By that we mean that the bank may have a required debt service coverage ratio, and your deals cash flow does not meet that lenders requirement; they may have filled their quota for the month on commercial loans, or they may just not like to loan on the certain type of property you are buying. Don’t take it personally.

HELPFUL TIP
House prices continue to rise beyond the expectations and predictions of the experts, leading some to suggest that property has in fact been undervalued for years. While the jury is still out on that theory, one thing is certain: your home is worth a lot more than you paid for it, regardless of whether you take inflation into account. And all the signs are that prices will not be dropping in the near future, particularly as demand is still so difficult to satisfy.And yet, during all that time, the cost of borrowing has been steadily decreasing; and labour and building materials costs hav

The Pitchers: SalesLet's say you have a new baseball team in town and it's almost time for the first game of the season. Your sales force is ready to sell a variety of package deals for the season. However, there's a major stumbling block as they prepare to approach potential buyers. No one knows about the package deals or even the date of the first game.No one tipped the local sports writer or the local TV news of the upcoming grand opening game.

Personal injury lawsuits are those that relate to injuries caused by another person or another person’s object or a company. Personal injuries lawsuits are claims for invasion of a personal right like false imprisonment, causing mental suffering, any kind of harm, disease or death caused by another person.

HELPFUL TIP: Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. If you know the profitability you wanted and the lender is agreeing to your deal offer up any reasonable requested commitment fee, and let the broker or lender do their job to close that loan for you.
Point #4: Emotions - Loving the deal and ignoring economic sense.
I have seen people try to buy a piece of property and lender after lender turns it down because the value is not justified or something. Yet, instead of realizing that smart financial people are telling you the deal is bad they persist to keep trying to buy it.
Sometimes even getting hard private money at exorbitant rates that will never generate a profit for you Remember, banks and lenders are in the business of lending you money. They want to lend money on deals that make sense. If EVERYONE says your deal does not make sense LISTEN TO THEM.
Get out of the deal or partner with someone who knows how to make it work or something. Don’t resort to ridiculous interest rates because you believe you HAVE to have this property. Again, heed advice and be smart.
HELPFUL TIP: Besides speaking to an expert BEFORE buying- put pen to paper and make sure the deal makes economic sense, not just emotional sense. In commercial property purchases its economics that must rule, not emotions.
I trust that these four points will put YOU more in control when making your next buying decision for purchasing investment real estate.
